Cognitive-pragmatic explanations of socio-pragmatic phenomena: the case of genre
نویسنده
چکیده
A comprehensive pragmatic theory will certainly have to address both these issues. In the search for such a comprehensive view of pragmatics a question immediately arises: how are socio-pragmatics and cognitive pragmatics related? One answer given in the literature is that the two domains are separate and socio-pragmatics controls cognitive pragmatics in the sense that socio-pragmatic entities are said to provide deeper explanations for phenomena that cognitive pragmatics can't. This answer is often given in the literature on genre (e.g. Kitis 1999; Holdcroft 1979; Green 1995; Goatly 1994; Paltridge 1995; Bex 1992).
